Things I wish someone had told me when I came for the first time
Tips: 1) Take part in the Freshers’ Week without fail (good way to find friends).
2) Never forget to check your university portals.
3) In case you have doubts regarding anything, visit the FSR or Studienberatung.
4) Make plans and stick to them.
5) Flexibility is fine here, but as an Indian who was always told what to do since his schooling days, it was difficult for me to adjust to this freedom.
Likes (Safety): Personally, I haven't faced any type of charm or issues on campus. I'm not really aware of any other facilities for student safety, but there are always helplines and representatives for issues like these. There is Student counselling to talk about struggles at university, and the Studentenwerk also ensures that students don't have any trouble in their living space. Therefore, they have their own psychosocial counselling and international offices who can also communicate in English for international students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Although there are many Indian restaurants, they are not really Indian because these restaurants have adapted to the taste of the Germans. In that case, Indian cuisine in such restaurants, when you go searching for an Indian restaurant, becomes very hard to find. The Indian restaurant I will suggest to people is Madras Kitchen. Since I am from the southern part of India, I feel the cuisine in their restaurant is authentic, and the level of their spiciness depends on the taste of Indians. Although they are expensive, the prices are justified by the food, and I wouldn’t mind spending time in their restaurant. But as a student, I can’t go there because they charge me 20 to 25 Euros per head.

Perfect university and a balanced student life
Tips: It's really a nice university and a good place for students. The major drawback is that most of the people here don't speak any English, so it's quite hard to get by without German. This may also affect the job opportunities, as they require fluent German skills (even in part-time jobs). As a student, I am satisfied with the university. However, as a person who seeks a job, I may not give it a good score.
Likes (Public transportation): I really love the connectivity here. Buses & trams are always on time and are available throughout the day. I especially like the idea of rental bikes (cycles), which is a lifesaver option for students. For students, public transport expenses are covered by the semester contribution fee, and after that we have to buy tickets (which cost 3.6u20ac/Hr or less with a monthly pass).
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs are limited for bio-related core fields. However, it is quite famous for other engineering-related jobs (Computer Modulation and Simulation, Nano Electric Science, etc.). This offers a good package here. Full-time as well as part-time jobs are also limited, as most of them require fluent German language skill English speaking jobs are rarely available.

From the city of Dresden!
Tips: The prospective candidates should be aware that TU Dresden runs on a high level of academic independence. There will be no spoon-feeding, and you have to organize all your coursework, sign up for your examinations, and decide upon your research topics independently, as a majority of programs for master's degrees in engineering and sciences are conducted in English. It is extremely important to learn the German language as it will be necessary for your everyday life, for getting things sorted out with the city administration, and for gaining industrial internships outside the university campus. Also, the academic advantage of using the Dresden concept network with leading research centers like Fraunhofer, Max Planck, and Leibniz next door cannot be overstated.
Dislikes (Internships): Securing a position depends almost entirely on individual initiative rather than university-led placement. While the central career service and campus career fairs provide useful self-service job portals and resume workshops, personalized guidance for finding and applying to roles is quite passive.

Excellent Research Opportunities and High-Quality Education at CRTD, TUDresden
Tips: Weather is something that was very new to me. It didn't snow so heavily in Dresden in the winter during my first year, Sep 2025 to Sep 2026. It was definitely manageable! Deutschlandstipendium is one of the very few scholarships available for Indians without any German proficiency Certificate (I might have missed some, still, do check on your own for other available scholarships). In addition to this, there are a couple of other scholarships that I heard people have received (DAAD-STIBET; PROMOS; GFF) towards the completion of a Master's degree. Usually, people manage their living expenses by doing a skilled/un-skilled part time jobs. Highly satisfied! The description mentioned on the programme website reflected the actual truth. The lectures were great! It's the first time I experienced this - for a single module, more than 20 professors delivered lectures. For example, SCD modules had 23 different lectures, and it was delivered by 23 professors. It was great to learn the concept from people who are experts and carrying out research in that same domain. Everyone was friendly to approach after lectures for a quick-talk/networking/quick-chat for an internship or lab rotation opportunities. I think knowing and speaking German might give a whole new experience. With English, one can live at a pace within campus as everyone would speak English, but outside campus, it's all German.
Likes (Internships): As part of Programme 2, mandatory lab rotations are required. BIO-POLIS Dresden has a lot of research labs, so getting a lab shouldn't be a problem. However, getting into the lab of choice is a little tricky and is possible by reaching out early/meeting the PIs in talks on campus. Uniklinikum is close to CRTD and has a lot of labs too. Getting an unpaid research position is relatively easier than getting an SHK/WHK - just email group leaders 3 to 3.5 months before the start date (2 months should also do, but getting the desired lab might get tricky then).
Dislikes (Part time work): SHK/WHK positions are available for students on campus, where students can assist research groups by carrying out assigned tasks. This falls under skilled labour and will be an add-on to your CV, but the competition is crazy. The intake to this programme has increased to around 60 students per year from around 20 students per year previously. Being ahead of time and submitting multiple applications will help you get a SHK/WHK. At times, working in a lab without getting paid for about 3 months, proving ourselves, can open up SHK/WHK offers (if there is funding in the lab).
